Mathias, for this reason quantity_cast should be

Agreed?
I'm actually wondering if we can completely eliminate quantity_cast - with the new quantity_reinterpret_cast and the new conversions including value type, it seems like it is redundant. If so, I'd rather just get rid of it...
I actually prefer to use quantity_cast instead of quantity_reinterpret_cast. After all, the behavior of reinterpret_cast is unspecified except that certain conversions are reversible, while quantity_reinterpret_cast is always well-defined. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
